Apparently nobody in my group is "remembering" to click the QA box when they need to send jobs to QA and reports are going straight to the client. Am I missing something or isn't that the point of FTR? FTR basically financially punishes the MTs for sending reports to QA so I don't think anyone is "forgetting" to click the box. We just don't want to lose any more money. You know, they can always find something to complain about. I almost don't wan ...

In a SLAP (superior labrum anterior and posterior) tear repair of the shoulder: Two 3.0... s/l bio-sure-tack... anchors were placed after drilling and fully seating the anchors. BIOSURE is a brand of instruments that Smith-Nephews manufactures, but I can't find any tack? TAK? TAC? anchors listed. He is very clear and is not saying SutureTack. It is definitely "bio-sure-tak", however it's spelled! Any ideas? TIA! ...

She/they are never ever. EVER. going to tell you what you want to hear on these calls. Ever. They tell us things we already know - what our collective concerns are via the employee survey, that they're oh-so-excited about this and that - things that will pad THEIR paychecks, not ours - and spout off a bunch of useless "statistics" that not one of us cares about - pretty much how successful THEY are as a company, not us as the MTs. Pass on some of that wealth! Again, if you' ...

This used to be a career where many of us were able to ride the gravy train for awhile. Don't get me wrong, we really worked hard for our money. But, back in the day, we either had our own accounts and kept the entire cpl, or we worked for an MTSO who subcontracted to us or hired us to transcribe and we got a bigger piece of that cpl pie. I made some fantastic money even 12 years ago. I was working on tapes or rerecording on from my Skutch box. The years have advanc ...

Yesterday I got a call from Support asking questions about my system for the upcoming ebtxt migration. When I told him I had satellite, he actually laughed and then turned to his coworkers, joked to them about it, and they all laughed too. When I asked what was so funny, he was taken aback, as if he didn't expect me to be offended by his behavior. He then apologized and mumbled something about satellite having a slow download time. Not only was his behavior unprofessiona ...

Typed a friendly, clear, efficient doctor on an account I have never heard of before and will probably never have again, but he was dictating on a "pleasantly demented woman" and exam was "a little difficult" due to the fact that she "sang throughout the entire exam." It just made me smile to think of the elderly lady sitting there singing while he was trying to listen to her heart and lungs. I'll take whatever smiles I can get these days... ...

in a few months. I get direct deposit and rarely check my pay stubs on line. I've been doing significantly more lines this month so I wanted to see exactly what I make per line on ASR. I went from 6.75 to .555!! What? I am SO upset and disappointed. Why didn't they tell me about this huge cut in pay? Here I was calculating my lines at the 6+ rate, only to see on my pay stub that I've been making substantially less per line. I feel sick! I am going to contact my supe, but I don ...

to announce it by now. Rather, it's end of year, they are frantically trying to hire new MLS who don't know any better and will be locked into the crappy exciting compensation plan while there is the expected stampede for the door. Can't get any lower than that. I wonder how much they paid a committee or team to think up this plan. ...

Does “vigorous pinprick” to the face sound correct to you? I’m imagining the doc stabbing needles into the patient's face. "Cranial Nerve V: She reports no facial sensation other than in her forehead, though with vigorous (s/l pimpering), she does flinch but says she still does not feel it." ...
